Tribunal's reasoning

The judgment was issued under Rule 21. The Tribunal found the claimants' complaint under section 180 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 well founded, namely that the first respondent failed to comply with the requirements of section 188 of the Act.

The Tribunal ordered the first respondent to pay a protective award to Mr Paul Childs and the other claimants listed in the schedule who were dismissed for redundancy on 2 November 2021. The award was remuneration for a protected period of 90 days beginning on 2 November 2021.

The judgment stated that the Recoupment Regulations apply and included the standard annex explaining the respondent's obligations to provide employee information to the Secretary of State and the mechanism for any recoupment notice.

How we got this data

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
